Today we have Jon Wipfli, who runs Animales Barbecue Co: a food truck spot that's responsible for elevating the BBQ scene in the state of Minnesota. Located outside of the Able Seedhouse and Brewery in Northeast Minneapolis, Jon and his team churn out some of the best brisket, ribs, hot links, and pork belly in town.
The COVID-19 crisis has pushed Jon into a new business model that operates entirely online. We spoke about the intense struggles he endured in the beginning, the phenomenal response and resiliency of the local community, and our shared love of beans.
